Bato.to is ded. Mirrors too.Admins folded in the face of copyright claims and cucked out.Will someone else take their place? Probably.Has someone archived all of bato's content? Maybe.Is my sister cutting herself again because she can't read her favorite shoujo smut? Absolutely.
who cares, this wasn't the original batoto for like a decade
>>285412799Nothing of value was lost. Bato.to was mostly just a repository of Korean/Chinese yaoi and other long strip trash. Any official scans you could find there could be found in other places
>>285412799Go hug your sister and cuddle in bed tonight!
>>285412840>who caresAnyone who diversifes their manga sources like you should be doing.
>>285412887I can assure you that there was a lot of hentai there that wasn't available anywhere else.
>>285412902that's the thingone falls, another rises
>>285412905>LotNot that much, you could find a few Fakku/Iridori releases in the sea of slop but thats about it
>>285412953It had a lot of fan scanlations that weren't uploaded to sad panda
>>285412799>starts filling it's catalog with gookslop>gooks (Kaoka) take you downShould have just stuck to japslop
>>285412939>another risesAlways with something missing from the fallen, sadly.
>>285412939A replacement for mangadex hasn't risen up yet, and when it does, it better have all the mangadex scans that were lost (same applies to bato).
Did no one bother to at least catalogue what it had if not archive what was there after the first time it died or changed hands?
>>285413005Better than cultivation slop
>>285413005They bring in traffic but I hope people eventuwlly learn that it just isn't worth it hosting manwha on a manga hosting site. Not just because manwha publishers are too litigious for their own good (manwha will be forgotten if they keep punishing people for freely publicizing their shit like rock bands did) but because it's an ocean of garbage. There are no creatives in the manwha sphere so it's all same-y garbage.
I thought this was effectively dead already. It turned into an aggregator site.
Hey I know you probably lurk these threads. Can you add the 2-page spread offset option from the weebdex reader to your other two sites? Your contact info says it's only for emergencies so I won't bother sending a feature request in through that.
>>285413005It's unfortunately really fucking popular
>>285413124Idk if I can do that but I want to let you know I have to take a really bad crap right now and the bathroom is currently occupied
>>285413038They're the same slop>>285413067>>285413146So why not make different website for it?
>>285412799is mangapark ded too?or is their cdn just down?
>>285412799is your sister hot?
>gookgookgookyou know Japanese companies send DMCA takedown requests and C&Ds as well, right? copyright isn't exclusive to worst koreahttps://x.com/stopkaizokuban
being so reliant on Mangadex... kind of fucking sucks.like sure it's mostly nice but you just know it will end in disaster sooner or later.
I've been using mangafire ever since dex went under, no problems to report. It's just a bit annoying with the double page spreads when reading on tablet.>>285413005>hating gooktoons in 2026get on with the times grandpa
>>285412988And usually even lower quality.
>>285412799>>285412799>raw enjoyer saving all his shit in zip/rarshould i care or what
>>285413462Aniplex Sony used to take down 1 or 2 sites a year because they understood that piracy just made their shit a lot more popular but they couldn't publicly be for piracy, the exact same thing they (Sony) did during the Metallica vs Napster case in the early 2000's Sony Music America was obligated to support Metallica and the RIAA but every other branch of Sony, including Aniplex, supported Napster. This was how it always worked, 1 or 2 pirate sites went down a year but they where probably back up in a month and everyone was happy. Gooks take down every single website at a rapid rate because they actually believe piracy is bad for their shit rather than it being free publicity.
>>285413462The point is that gookshit increases site traffic to unignorable levels.
>staff all personally received legal noticesI bet it's Kakao, fits their modus operandi to a T. Also, dumbasses can't ever do illegal shit anonymously or at least not link their staff accounts to their IRL socials.
>>285413575I'm pretty sure Mangadex just got hit with like three nukes in a row not that long ago, all from Japanese publishers. It's why people started falling back on comick, mangapark and batoto more in the first place.
>>285413005Women/fujos are obsessed with this slop, it pumps view numbers(for shady ads)
When will you retards finally learn the importance of gatekeeping?
>>285413742Maybe "pretty sure" isn't good enough
>>285413742Mangadex tried to make a deal with publishers, as crunchyroll. It didn't go well
>itt: zoomzooms who don't know sites died all the time long before longtoons existed>like the original batoto before this batoto existed whose death spawned godoka
>>285412799The manga uploader on that site is awful. You can’t tell if a page is broken from the preview, and fixing it is a pain because you have to keep going back and forth between the upload preview page and the published version. The site is very outdated, so it's no surprise it went offline for good.
>>285413829Tell me all about your secret club please
>>285413575They're right. Who the fuck would pay for that shit except women?Manga industry doesn't care much about piracy because people end up buying the physical volumes anyway.
>>285413067>>285413146>>285413802It should be noted that this is a quantity over quality thing. I don't think any manhwa was ever one of the top series and none of them have the same cultural influence as popular manga but there's just so many of them.
>>285413575It's also because Korea's webtoon industry is failing and they've convinced themselves the reason is that they're losing too much revenue from piracy.
>>285413067Eh, a lot of manhwa is literally free to read in English on their official website anyway, they just have timed paywalls on chapters. They'll be fine
>>285412799It was dead for a long time. Whatever was there was a husk of what it was back in the day.
>>285413936Oh absolutely it's raw fucking slop, like not even in a buzzword kind of way but in an actual way like it's just shoveled into people's preverbal troughs. The shit is mass produced by studios and shoveled out in a format designed for binging on a platform everyone carries in their pocket.I remember back in late 2021 to 2022 before you could filter by origin Mangadex's front page was utterly choked by Bilibilli uploads where they're upload like a chapter every ten minutes for their series that would have like HUNDREDS of "chapters" dozens of series. Shit went on for MONTHS
>>285413575They also seem to go off the Nintendo logic of any old stuff you are consuming is stopping you from buying our new stuff so it’s better that all our old things die even if they aren’t being sold because we want you buying our new things.
>>285413864Comments here are great compared to what I found elsewhere. Those people have no clue about anything.
Is staying anonymous while hosting really that hard?
>>285412799First the mangadex purge. Now this.
>>285412939I don't think this is true anymore.
>>285412799that site doesn't workalways several pages failed to load
>>285414183>FirstThis isn't even the first Batoto that got shut down.
Tres bien
>>285412799Kind of sucks, since I read a fair amount of smut on bato through another app. I wish I could have saved it before it went down.
>>285414119The only way to stay fully anonymous on the internet is to never use it in the first place. Hosting stuff on the surface web meanwhile is like placing a beacon on a mountain and telling the world you exist.
>>285414239How do all the "other" sites stay up then? Is it because they routinely migrate?
>>285414062Oh man the Bato comments make the Mangadex ones look like fucking well thought out opinions
>>285412902>diversifies their manga sourcesThe absolute state of streamtards.
>>285414398Are you going to pretend that there are live torrents for even half the manga out there on aggregators? What kind of nimrod are you?
>>285413864>unc still thinks its 2014 and the internet is mysterious and pirate sites can exist for years before some old fogey realizes that they're around
This is all trickle down from the November 19th ruling against Cloudflare. No one wants to take the big legal hit that case set precedent for, and so now they bend the knee to corps easier, and give up the people they host.
>>285412939>that's the thing>one falls, another risesTHIS IS A LIE A PSYOP TO KILL MANGA PIRACY. PIRACY CAN DIE AND IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS, YOU CAN'T FIGHT AGAINST DEATH
>>285413864YOU ARE A PSYOP! YOUR PLAN TO KILL PIRACY WON'T WORK
>>285414679Solution: Start slowly driving regular people off the clearnet.
>>285414775lol, lmao
>>285414775Yeah good luck with that
>>285414703>THIS IS A LIE A PSYOP TO KILL MANGA PIRACYNot really, that's how it used to work. Sony or Shueisha would make a half hearted attempt to show the public they totally for realz care about stopping piracy while doing the bare minimum and ignoring the website when it came back up. In fact, I can guarantee if these pirate sites stopped uploading gook shit we'd go back to how things used to be and there would be no mass take downs.
>>285412799Is Mangapark next? That site hasn't been working properly the past few days...
>>285414920>gookthey really are Worst Korea
WHY IS EVERYTHING GETTING WORSE ALL THE TIME?
>>285415104You don't have to type in caps lock anon, you unironically just look like a retarded mongoloid when doing so. If you want to have an actual discussion about this then you have to act like it.
>>285412939So when's that gonna happen, huh? Mangadex dead, Comick dead, Bato.to dead. When's the next one rising?
>>285415170Not telling you, I think you're a snitch.
>>285415212The answer is there's fucking nothing.
>>285415170>When's the next one rising?There are dozens already if you know where to look, however so long as a pirate site gets known and popular enough to where mongs speak about it publicly it's bound to potentially be on the chopping block. Much more so if it uploads manhwa. Happy hunting anon.
>>285414934Mangapark and Batoto are run by the same owner
>>285414920This isn’t true. Every time they die there are plenty of works that are lost and never recovered.A decade ago this was a lot more feasible, but since then companies and government have gotten more anal and more controlling over piracy and making it harder and harder to do to control the internet because they want the internet completely under their thumb like China. It’s the same reason payment processors keep going after porn and more.
I miss #lurk

>>285415235That's what you should say if someone ask at least.
>>285415342pp grabber link
>mangadex deadit's not dead, just censored, come on. all the """""lost""""" chapters are in a safe stash somewhere, I just know it.
Do Zoomers just not know how to torrent?
>>285415278>Every time they die there are plenty of works that are lost and never recoveredThe very fact that you believe this shows me how young you are, not to mention there are thousands of people downloading these manga for their personal collection. Most of these websites are ran by the exact same people with the exact same manga libraries at their disposal. Most companies, at least Jap ones, also don't give a shit about piracy, this is purely a gook thing. Aniplex Sony themselves could realistically take down every anime and manga piracy website if they actually wanted to since all of them have Madoka Magica, an IP they just outright own, among many other anime they produce available on their website for viewing or manga they own like the LycoReco and Engage Kiss manga (they own these IP's) for reading the very fact they don't should tell everyone they couldn't give a fuck and it's always been this way now pick a website and go read some manga.https://everythingmoe.com/
>>285415404>pp grabberyou're making me want to click it
>>285415452Most scanlators don't give a shit about releasing the CBZs (at least on the open internet) or making torrets so most trackers don't have series updated (in the best case)
>>285415452No, they think exe files are viruses.
>>285415511There's only torrents for official rips, it sucks.
>>285415520This your delusion or something? .exe is executable.t. zoomer
Since all the staff received legal notices, I bet they just went into their very public Discord server and then googled the moderator names to see what other social media they have kek.
>>285415561Don't understand this reasoning, when there have been several instances of them being wary of exe files or not knowing how to open a zip file.
>>285415520I'm a non-zoomer and I think this
>>285415601Average zoomer refuses to use shit like uBlock Origin despite knowing about it. At this point, retardation is the only explanation.
>>285415601>them being wary of exe files or not knowing how to open a zip fileDon't think I've ever met another person my age or slightly younger that retarded, but then again mongs exist in every generation and at this current point in time you get more attention for displaying your retardation to the public anyways.
>>285415601>>285415652I had some guy in his 40s in a previous job rant at me about how much he hated rar files, saying that you shouldn't need to go out and download additional programs to use different filetypes. It's not all gen z doing shit like this.
>>285415703Yeah but the 40 yo fags probably thinks he's "too old to learn this shit" or something like that, while zoomers just spend every single day scrolling on their phone like a bunch of mongoloid children (we're talking about adults btw)
>>285412799DO. NOT. HOST. KOREAN. STUFF. EVER.It's poison killing sites via copyright threats.
>>285415452Torrents are good for downloading the whole series, but per chapter? It's problematic
>>285415452You can't register on Nyaa anymore.
>>285415824We live in 2026, internet is cheap and fast, just make weekly/monthly torrents like Nipponsei did during years (the folder will self update too)
Nobody wants to seed. Especially shit they don't want to read.
>>285415601>>285415652you should be wary of exe files tholike, don't run programs you don't trust
>>285415275Aggregator sites don't matter. What matters are sites to upload.
>>285414264I like reading Bato comments because of all the horny women
I used mangafire way more than bato anyway, but it seems like It'll be my problem soon enough with the way things are going
Are there any good places dedicated to RAW manga? DL or tracker, public or private; I can't seem to find anything that has RAWs at anywhere near the same rate as translations.
>>285415856AnonThe issue that it's 2026 and the internet has been dealt a huge blow last year
>>285416427https://everythingmoe.com/
>>285416443Very cool, thanks anon
>>285415169YOU ARE TALKING TO DIFFERENT ANONS
>gooksloppers trying to deflect quoting the Mangadex holocaustThat shit only came to pass after the Nip publishers announced that they were partnering with fucking Kakao to combat piracy.
>>285415474You won't kill piracy
batoto had died once before when the fujos flipped out over one little DMCA and got scaredthat's what led to mangadexthen mangadex purged 90% of its catalogue since that retard holo refused to purge korean webtoonsnow batoto is dead because it refuse to purge korean webtoonswho even wants korean webtoons?korean webtoons are all about NTR, except for the ones where GIGACHAD-HUANG has surpassed sexual desire to become a Humanity-hating misanthrope of ultimate power. *Buddha aura*
>>285415824I think torrents could be used better than they usually are. You can add files to a torrent. Just add each additional chapter to the same torrent. Most torrent sites would need to update the way they display info to make this work though. You can even apparently stream things with torrents, though I've never tried it. >>285415957If you can offer direct downloads for things then you can set up a seed box or something. Having other people seed is nice but there's no reason if someone wants to offer good torrents they couldn't have the main seeder being them.
>>285416584The original batoto wasn't fujo and yume central. It was owned by Grumpy, and he actually knew how to run a website. The new bato that just died is a different website with a similar name.
If you want official scans just use Madokami.
>>285416755wasn't batoto originally supposed to pay scanlators or something like thatthey had some system that meant you could make money translating manga, although it was obviously unworkableI don't remember the details
There will be a day when Mangafire dies and idk what I'm gonna do with myself when that day comes, sure other sources exist but not all of them have extra chapters or raws for untranlated manga
Backing up MP metadata now. Same owner as Bato. Only managed to backup around 30% of bato metadata before it went dark. Not making the same mistake again. Rip hentai and smut
>>285414196It very much is. New sites contribute popping up and they'll never be shut down in their entirety. It would behoove them to learn to stop uploading gookshit on the same site, but if Comick—which is what all the zoomers used—was any indication then it's probably what drives most of the clicks they get.
I'll say it again and again. Torrent is the future. Go back to monke. Direct downloads, torrents. Keep them locally. Share responsibility and take the matters into your own hands. Even shitty 256 GB laptop can hold the latest chapters and episodes of your favorite media. Reject streaming. It's clearly not working anymore.Torrent/seed more. There are too few manga torrents. Truly hope that private trackers have complete archives of every manga/anime ever
>>285416689>If you can offer direct downloads for things then you can set up a seed box or something. Having other people seed is nice but there's no reason if someone wants to offer good torrents they couldn't have the main seeder being them.Long term seeding on a seedbox is not too far from hosting a website. It's just some server that can get taken down like everything else.
>be scan site>watch other scan scan sites repeatedly get nuked for hosting one specific type of content >continue hosting said content yourself and even go out of your way to get more of it on your siteWhy does this keep happening? Is the audience for Korean slop really that big?
>>285417153it is and none of them use ad blockers of any sort
>>285412799
>>285417089torrent is a very solid foundation, but it needs moresome kind of automatic redundancy managementa way to entrench the infrastructure in p2p even more
>>285412799Fucking gooks? Don’t they realize that this shit will make people hate them more?
>>285417212Agreed. There are probably way too many dupes and versions because there is not one "THE torrent" for thing "x". Too scattered and not organized. That's why torrenting/piracy must become mainstream again with new sites and technology. Make it so easy, safe and convenient that even zoomers could use it with their phones. Personally I'm thinking about reader where you would download the pages/chapters yourself and at same time seed them to other readers, but dunno how to make it safe. Basically streaming but seeding instead of relying on servers. Should be possible with tablets and phones too if PC is inconvenient
I still haven't even migrated everything off Comick and now the next one dies.
>>285412799RIP to a lot of old fanscans, that might've been the last place that had some of the 10+ year old ones.What I don't get is why don't these faggots ever give a warning at least a few days ahead or release the data? Surely there a few ways to get around what's written in the DMCA mails and not fuck over people who supported your site.
>>285417342You can still access Comick though? It's tracker now. It's all there. Lists, titles, all. You can't just read them and get links instead
>>285417304>That's why torrenting/piracy must become mainstream again with new sites and technology.That's the exact opposite of the way things should go. It's for the best that people who don't want to put in any effort and just want to be spoon-fed are directed to official channels, while information flows unencumbered among the people who actually care. "Pirate" sites and protocols should practice intentional obscurity reject hand-holding.
>>285417354They had literally one dev and the moment that guy got nabbed the whole thing come crashing.
>>285417354https://nyaa.si/view/1304255It's not all there?
>>285417354They might be gone but either raws or new TL still exist (official or fan). It's not the end luckily and probably many survived. Don't count what you have lost, remember what you still have. Stay optimistic and back them up next time
>>285417153nice photo, what anime is it from
>>285415170I know one but won't say anything.
>Gooks and Gookshills have been shitting up the board by forcing their modern garbages here for a while>Repeatedly killed Manga sites>Generally being annoying on the internet>Turned Manhwa into WebtoonsIf there is a time to hate Koreans, it's right now since they unironically did way more damage to things that you like compared to like 15+ years ago when relatively did nothing on this board
>>285413669Who actually reads gookshit and toiletpaper trash? I cannot imagine the sort of person.
>>285417626wtf I like korea now
>>285415170>He doesn't know
>>285417089Locally saved media is the literal foundation stones. It's ridiculous that so many people have forgotten this.
Hey guys, I'm from the future. Bato came back.
>>285417600It's /co/ but if you want to look at Japanese rodents I recommend Tower Dungeon
>>285415957>Nobody wants to seedBe the change you want to be, baka. Or adapt to civilized society and join a private tracker and other gated community sekrit clubs like people who actually care about piracy. If you seed stuff on your sadpanda account and can figure out how to irc then you're like 2/3 of the way to gettinng into one, the last third being just doing an interview and not being a retard.
>>285413575the one thing people FUNDAMENTALLY do not understand about piracy is that the vast vast majority of people who pirate, would never have legally obtained whatever they're pirating in the first place. These companies love saying pirates are taking away sales, but they were never going to get a sale from someone who would pirate in the first place.It's a retarded argument and all the bootlickers who say it because THEY like paying for everything just do not understand this
Anyone who claims that Korean manhwa was responsible for this is an idiot. It was all Japanese publishers. Kadokawa, as usual. Racists are just trying to start a fight.
>>285417626isekai threads have been garbage'd out with the retarded KRslop ritual posters, they're literally the lowest IQ retards imaginable
>>285415452>>285415520When was the last time you tried to torrent an ongoing scanlation? Are you retarded or something or do you only read series with official TLs that are ripped?
>>285418156More likely Shueisha than Kadokawa. I don't know why retards all over are ignoring the Japanese publishers. Japanese companies ignoring pirates sites hasn't been a thing since Batoto's first shutdown.
>got to new comick site>search for isekai ntr>no matches>search for savage hero>no matchesnice TRACKING website nerds, fucking useless.
>>285418104It's a relic of the past. Piracy used to mean bootleg operations where stuff was sold to the public for a profit, often disguised as the real thing. Even now in the era of torrents and streaming that mental image of a shady guy selling movies out of an alleyway hasn't gone away.
>>285418269You're making a semantic argument. Copyright laws exist for a reason, mostly to enforce things like author contracts with publishers. There are of course people who don't like this, but it's not even the real problem. The problem with anime and manga piracy has always been poor distribution in the west. It's not even fully solved with anime, it's licensed to a middleman who fucks with the product. CR can't even get OPs right.
>>285416584All that got purged from the Dex is Korean and popular licensed shounen/shoujo. It's still good for forgotten, lesser-known manga.
>>285415601>>285415520This is common sense pirating stuff. It has long been noob advice to make sure that the film or music you DL'd was actually a media file and not an .exeTherefore people that grew up hearing that are skeptical of unknown .exe files. You're missing the rationality and think that people are dumb for being wary of executables.
>>285413146Have any of these sites posted actual metrics of who is reading this shit?
>>285416815Dead except for the last few bots running on autopilot, and new registrations are rarely opened.
>>285418156Why couldn't they just purge a portion of the content, like MangaDex?>https://forums.mangadex.org/threads/level-8-reached-surviving-the-great-purge-eating-cake.2524664/
>>285413864>like the original batoto before this batoto existed whose death spawned godokaOG batoto died to scanlators being greedy faggots, not because of piracy.
As long as my website's okay, I'm all smiles.
>>285418314I'm not talking about the actual legal situation, I'm explaining where the "piracy is costing us money" mentality comes from.
>>285416837No.
wait I thought comick had direct links to the scanlators websites to read but not even that, they give you a google search? lmao
>>285418401"Piracy is costing us money" has nothing to do with shipboard piracy, you're just a midwit using semantic arguments.
>>285416584The most competent people are the people who run private trackers, too bad they are fucking asswipes who want to gatekeep super hard.
>>285418438So, most scanlators have moved and reuploaded, but in case they didn't I noticed that sites like https://mangafire.to/ have a lot of that shit mirrored. Use Mihon or another tachiyomi clone + extension to rip it, because there's too much protection on these mangadex sites to handle it otherwise.
The director of #1 anime in MAL fucking quits and this is what gooks do instead of figuring out a way to overtake it? So much for the build up of calling Korean cartoons "anime".
Have your site set up in Eastern Europe would be a great start.
>>285418568Nah, there's only one resilient host and that's the ukraine one that anna's archive and libgen both use. Everyone else is really just obscuring their site with reverse proxies and filtering members so that only the uploaders get through, like private trackers. Other copyright immune hosts are really rare.
>>285418568>>285418600If you want to look for resilient hosts, try these. >https://archive.is/fOQ0A
>>285418771Neat, thanks for sharing.
>>285418156>Gookshills deflecting the blame
>>285418528We're on the age of people making bad decisions, or they actually treat declining as a competition.
>>285413085batoto died in 2018 when Grumpy got sick of managing it and sold off the domain to whoever were probably the mangawindow owners
>>285418156Always remember that no one scream racist or complain about racism whenever someone insult the Nips or Westerners nowadays, it's always when someone talk bad about Korea or China
>>285418318More than that got removed.

>>285415170the central in which a weeb can dwell
Cut off one head and two more shall take its place
>>285419037Isn't that for official rips only? Dynasty seems to have a bigger collection of fanTLs
>>285419066It's not only official ones, but it does replace chapters with official versions even if there's something worse about them. It also doesn't have some manga I've looked for before, and the resolution is reduced sometimes.
>>285417304Torrents trackers has been extremely safe for 15 years now, as long as you're not stupid.

>>285419037>>285419272>>285419288Stop being cute. You guys aren't subtle.
Fellow Spanish speakers, what's the Bato/ComicK equivalent for the Spanish language? Preferably one that doesn't use too many idioms in their translations/has some kind of neutral Spanish.
>>285412799who gives a shit. To be frank I hate manga sitesm, or at leats most of them. Why? because some are just people wanting to monetize scanlators fan work. I had lost count of the times I wanted to get a manga but the last torrent from it is from years ago, and all the new stuff is behind a site that wants to push cancerous ads, Oh but they are willing to jump through rings of fire to prevent someone to use a scraping program to bypass all the shitty site's restrictions.>>285415824>Torrents are good for downloading the whole series, but per chapter? It's problematicproblematic how? get torrent / magnet, seed, delete (or incorporate into your stash), You have do less clicks than using a manga site. There were (i dunno know as I had not used one in years) programs to download and manage manga from sites, but, as I told ya, those admin bitches try everything ion their might to prevent those programs to get the info. God forbids you get a pirated manga for free from them, and they could not get their precious ad malware money.
>>285412799>Is my sister cutting herself again because she can't read her favorite shoujo smut? Absolutely.Tell her to be a respectable person and buy it.
>>285419537>problematic how? The problem is that nyaa has been closed to new uploaders for years
>>285418156>RacistsCurious word choice for 4chan of all places. I wonder who could be behind this post.
>>285413462pyongyang doesn't have anything to copyright except pictures of dearest leader
>>285412939No one ever replaced manga traders.Every time one of these sites dies I get told>get used to how we do things nowIt happened to me, it will happen to you. Shit's lost forever and that's that.
>>285417089Can you share what you archived from batoto
>>285418375Are you retarded?

>start pushing gook shit>site gets taken downwhen are they gonna ever learn?
>>285419885There's bound to be some releases that only mangatraders had, only bakabt has, etc. Only real solution is to back the shit up of everything and spread it around
>>285419087What's most questionable the files are served with .png extension but are actually JPGs at a quality of level 75.
>>285417354>What I don't get is why don't these faggots ever give a warning at least a few days ahead or release the data?Nigga they DID give warning. I knew Bato was gonna die for the last month or two, you have to pay attention
>ctrl+F "gook">21 matches>ctrl+F "korea">16 matches>meanwhile none of the operators have actually said who told them to take down the site
>>285420091It wouldn't be as bad if that was an option for people who don't know or care to change it, but each site that copies is only reducing the quality further.
>>285416530Baka-Tsuki was nuked by Kadokawa and Shueisha in bloody 2015 you blithering idiotAnd they got off lightly, the Chinese fan translators (aka rippers of official Taiwanese releases) got arrested by Chinese police at Kadokawa's request
>>285413544>>285416427did you encounter the problem where the RAWs are lower quality than translated stuff?the ones I manage to download often have lower resolution than scanlationsit's problematic because japanese symbols are more intricate than letterskanji is often hard to see properly, not to mention furigana
>>285416427KoboBookwalker
>>285419272Why do you use Mangadex anyway? They're miserly cowards just like Fakku.
>>285420277Public raws are complete shit. Some are 1920x1080 screenshots, not even cropped to the correct aspect ratio. Some scanlators will rip the ebooks themselves instead of using that crap.Another thing you'll notice is that depending on the publisher and publication the quality between the serialization and volumes will vary. In most cases the volumes are better but with some the magazine or web version has higher resolution or less blur.
>>285420389Some are so bad it's either intentional or they never even look at the result.
>>285416427This site is brilliant.>https://dl-raw.ac>>285420356I love how user-friendly the reading experience is.
>>285420277I just upload all my scans to e-hentai with a torrent link added to the gallery nowadaysStandard 600DPI for your viewing pleasure
>>285420415>e-hentaiGet a real Sadpanda account.
>>285413829Well you're kind of right but you're kind of wrong. Gatekeeping private archives 100%! There should be somewhere preserving lost media through private gatekeeping to prevent this scenario. But what you do is you copy and paste the archives in mass to burner sites that way when sites like mangadex/bato fall the lost media is preserved and documented while another new replacement pops up publicly in a week. This is the only true way to prevent a library of Alexandria situation if you put all your cards in one basket then everything is lost Gatekeep alone and nobody gains anything but not having a gate kept archive to copy and paste everything is a bad idea because all of your eggs in public basket means copystrike losers will burn your library and ashes and dust will remain even if you can guarantee something saved lost media permanence will be inevitable So the solution is high dedicated mods with a fully organized private archive which never gets shared only copied to burner sites. The best way is if you can code it so it's a simple as a button push into a file doc dump. So essentially they won't be able to take you down as fast as you can click a button to repost. When you feel the legal pressure you give the archives to other anons to rinse and repeat. IF THE INTERNET ARCHIVE ITSELF ISN'T SAFE FROM DELETION! Then nothing is safe. How do you think fine art was salvaged from destruction during the days of WW2 and the Nazi regime.. by individuals gatekeeping arts and releasing it upon safety but with the internet you can't truly dump a archive somewhere safety so the solution is 1/21 gatekeep archive 2 copy paste and spread the archive..Rinse and repeat
>>285420399I've stopped bothering with them. Digital manga costs pennies and you support the creators.
>>285420437I don't have any loli content that would be worth the hassle
>>285420437Why? Ehentai is great for magazine/artbook scans that are not hentai. No need to hide this stuff behind muh sekrit club rules.
>>285418156Why do gookshills even try to deflect on 4chan of all places lmao
Where do people download manga now? Just go to the scanlator website and hope they have some kind of link? I have a madokami account but its felt like its been dying for a while now.
>>285420470>Just go to the scanlator website and hope they have some kind of link?You mean hope they haven't paywalled half the chapters?
>>285420465I mainly use it for non-h doujinshi scans for some series that got tons of fanzines over the decades but 95% of them are not available onlineMost of them can be bought in bulks for change online, my last purchase was 40 of them for 2000 yen in total
>>285420470Hakuneko
>>285420470>Just go to the scanlator websiteThis or use tools like Hakuneko.
>>285420451is it typical for official releases to offer downloads? or is it always drm bullshit with special apps and whatnotif I can pay to download high quality images, then yeah, I would consider that
>>285420609DRM horseshit and inflated western prices.If I buy then I buy JP digiral raw and just fucking leave it alone then pirate official Eng or download scanlations.
>>285412799>Will someone else take their place? Probably.I wish, this shit works, slowly but surely all the trackers got worse, even private trackers removed content in the face of c&d letters. >>285412939Yeah, sure buddy, and it rises with half the content and a tenth of the contributors it once had.And every time one of the shady sites goes legit, they pull a FAKKU/Crunchy where they start sending c&d letters to all the sites they know because they were insiders.
>>285420609You almost never can access the bought material as-is. You either have to view it on their page or in a bullshit app. Breaking the drm can be a hassle, depending on the service.
>>285420640>JP digiral rawyeah, I meant these, nipponese rawsdo I get jpegs there?
>>285420656digital raws from sites like bookwalker or kindle are usually dogshit 1080p res jpegs at best
>>285413858I fucking called it when it happened. I knew they were trying to cozy up, which opened them opened them up even more to liabilities because they put names and faces to the site.And everyone kept calling me a retard when I said that the prolonged downtime and wipe will kill the site, and look at it now, its a shambling corpse. Series with like a few chapters uploaded somewhere in the middle, barely any consistent uploaders. The site keeps breaking... shocker, who would have thought that prolonged downtimes and wiping peoples work would discourage contributions especially when you try to make them legally liable.
I feel like its all kind of been shit since mangatraders went down
>>285420609I just remove the DRM.DLsite has some releases as DRM-free pdf. Doujin are almost always just pdf or images.
>>285415452>just torrentMeanwhile even a private book tracker is taking down shit if they get sent a cease and desist, and they have massive blacklists of authors and series you can't upload because it results in an instant ban. I tried to torrent something recently. And there was just no torrents for it. Nobody is fostering this shit anymore. You can only torrent the most popular or newest things, the rest, you just have to hope that someone will accidentally turn on that one PC that has the files set to automatically seed, probably in some quarry in uzbekistan, where they just keep daily production quotas, and someone turned it into a seeding machine.
>>285412999>A replacement for mangadex hasn't risen up yetIt has.>it better have all the mangadex scans that were lost (same applies to bato).I think they're working on it, and asking for those that have it to upload it.
>>285420656epubs, containing metadata and jpg.>>285420677The bigger publishers all offer at least x1200 and most have upgraded to x1920 or x2048 in the past few years.
>>285420736>and most have upgraded to x1920 or x2048 in the past few yearsI wish it was true. I've ripped a manga anthology for a game anniversary last month and the quality was as I described above.
>>285419640Are there reasons as to why nyaa is closed to registration?
>>285420504>>285420496thanks for this. is there any way to mass archive the library, it sounds like a streaming sorta program without the dl capability, or i've misunderstoodscanlators need to go back to self hosted websites and self hosted scans with mirrors. Megaupload's demise was the start of the end
>>285420766It's closed registration since they moved the domain iircProbably connected
>>285420781Oh, I see. I still have my account from the new .si domain in 2017, when .se got nuke.
>>285420209I didn't know Xi was in Kadokawa's pocket
>>285420764Which publisher?
>>285420764>>285420677Sounds like you're not making real rips and instead using screenshots. And for some reason your screen resolution is only set to 1080p.
>>285420161it's called pattern recognition and extrapolation
>>2854127991000% it's k*rean's fault againNEVER EVER HOST MANHWA IN YOUR MANGA WEBSITE.fucking retards
>>285420915Kadokawa>>285420935I use a rip software that grabs the images straight from the source and I do get higher res from time to time, but the usual resolution is 1080p
>>285420957proof? and no past anecdotes don't count
>>285418248You need to log in for NSFW
>>285413829>gatekeepingSlave mentality. Change the world so you don't have hide like a rat. Make it so corpos, karens, moralcucks, kikes, etc are under your boot and can't tell you what files you're allowed to share.
>>285420968pattern recognition. now fuck off.
>>285420974>Change the world so you don't have hide like a rat. Make it so corpos, karens, moralcucks, kikes, etc are under your boot and can't tell you what files you're allowed to share.Gate keeping also keeps out people who don't want to contribute, who don't know the culture, and generally deteriorate the enviroment/hobby.Only people who want to subvert and destroy are against gatekeeping. Shalom my friend.
it's obvious that the reason these websites keep dying is because they hosted KOREAN COMICS.Unlike the very slow, clueless and inept Japanese, the koreans are very aware AND anal about copyright stuff.They just never fucking learn.Why don't these fucking retards understand that MANGA means JAPANESE COMICS?If people want to read manhwa, then go to fucking manhwa websites.stop piggybacking japanese comics popularity. fucking parasites.
>>285419508Google translate, AI, MTL, Learn English/Japanese. Spanish TL is useless. Just another language taking site space
>>285419897It's so crude. Basically everything from A to C, then I switched to backing up on BL/GL to around G. Only saved by saving the web page (save page). It only has the cover images and browse page "backups". Mainly to find the titles later. No links to titles or their pages. No metadata. With my Manga Park scraper I get everything smartly. Covers, metadata, urls. Might share that. Bata.to was scuffed rush job. Site was dying and the connection wasn't stable enough for scraper. If it comes back I'll finish the backup (with scraper this time)
>>285420972it doesnt even list the latest chapter for isekai ntr, fucking useless garbage
>>285420994>Gate keeping also [moves goalposts]As expected of a rat. Grasping at every rationalization he can so he can perpetually "rebelliously" cower under the boot of those with power.
>>285420962Kadokawa has been x2048 since like 2016 and before that they had x1600 since 2014 and x1200 since 2012. Your ripping software sucks. No publisher uses x1080. Ancient releases and Hifumi Shobo have x1024.
>>285421183>nooo you see you must be open about your operations, you can't do two things at the same timeShalom my subversive friend. I will not list you the sites I am using. I shall gatekeep it from subversive fucks like you.
>>285421189No
>>285420962>I use a rip software that grabs the images straight from the sourceWhich one? Does it work on Manga Planet?
>>285420974>just become Hitler 2.0, and don't die this time, bro
>>285421277Manga_downloader
>>285421240Who are you trying to bullshit? You aren't ripping epubs from the store, you are making screenshots. Go to Kobo, pick the book you want and save the free samples. You can download them with the reader and the samples won't even have DRM so they can directly be extracted from the kepub folder.
Can you compress manga or save it to cloud for archiving? Only have 22TB currently so lite-archivist. How to maximize use of space. Like the right codec, cbz instead of Webs/jpgs. Right filezipper etc
>>285421210The goalposts have reached escape velocity.Yes telling the slaves to take power from their master is subversive... to the slaves? Wait that doesn't sound right. And yes I can tell that you will defend the status quo like a good low iq goy that you are. No need to repeat yourself.
>>285421366if you want low resolution saves then just go for jpeg format and zip them
>>285412799>manga readers just KEEP dyingSo, uh, how do you lads go about making a private archive? Surely it can't be that hard to save and keep like 10tb of manga, right? Do you just buy an extra drive and call it a day?
>>285421395Gatekeeping by word is impossible. With influencers, social media and site trackers. What we need is to make it harder. Raise the skill ceiling. Dumbwits will either use official or lose all streaming sites. Like host with IRC or torrents or private trackers or have torrent side on dark web
>>285421434I have 1TB and that's already a lot of manga.
They only need to create a manga website that1. only includes MANGA2. only includes ENGLISH translationThat's it. it's that easy.Trying to have EVERYTHING in 1 piracy basket is like screaming at Nintendo on twitter that "LOL WE'RE PIRATING YOUR GAMES!!!" and then you make a surprise pikachu face when Nintendo actually did take down your shit.You don't want UNWANTED ATTENTION from undesirable stakeholders (those with AUTHORITY)
>>285421455Gate keeping manga is easy. Most content is Japanese only and requires you to pay.Almost everybody in this thread is already being gatekept.
>>285421434If you're serious about this... Then get big drive (10+ TB). Backup what you want. Then get cloud like backblaze or seeebox. Try to get cheap used enterprise level drive for cold storage. With these you have 1 original, 1 copy and 1 copy off-line or off-site. 2 might be enough though if hobbyist/just starting
>>285420717They even have AkumatsuT's manga that she took down in paranoia when Fujio Productions DMCAed her Mega account and a single tweet bragging about her translations.
>>285421479>like screaming at Nintendo on twitter that "LOL WE'RE PIRATING YOUR GAMES!!!"From comments I've seen, some people basically do the equivalent about sites they use.

>>285421395You don't know what goalpost moving is do you? The goal is the same. Gatekeeping good. Not gatekeeping bad.
>>285412799Fuck... Will this copyright shit ever end? Do we really need to go back to the stone age to make them understand that manga and anime became popular mostly thanks to piracy?So be it, let's wait for that happen, they will realize that they're strangling themselves with their own hands
>>285421631Just change your system setting lol.
>>285421608>Japanese people are deaf and blind terminal brainlets who wouldn't know how to spell DMCA without gookrea to hold their hands>please ignore all those times shit got DMCAed before coreans learned how to use the internet stop being retarded
>>285421655>that manga and anime became popular mostly thanks to piracy?All that piracy in the 1950s and 60s.
>>285421655It's too late for that, ever since WSJ and Kadokawa started simul releases in English the official site overshadows whatever pennies they get from piracy influencePiracy laid the foundation for them but now that the willing and paying base is there they can start building their empire and push said foundation into the mud
>>285421467Fair enough, but it's always good to have as much overhead as possible just in case. Plus, it'd also be nice to store anime, too...>>285421516I'm dead serious, brother. Thanks, your system sounds a lot more attainable than some of the recommendations I've seen fishing around. I'm not sure about cloud backup, but I can always just use 2 different enterprise drives and some kind of checksum system and hope for the best.
>>285421631If you're on wangblows just do this
>>285421804>blocks your path
>>285421366>Like the right codec, >cbz instead of Webs/jpgsOof. Assuming you want lossless compression there pinga/pingo for pngs and the jpegxl format for jpegs. Those will probably give you the biggest size reduction without needing to make some sort of advanced custom solution tailored to magna.
>>285421755>Plus, it'd also be nice to store anime, too...An episode of anime is 1.3GB. The biggest volumes I have are 400MB and most are well under 100.
>>285421835Feels good to still use Windows 7.
>>285421835If you use LTSC you can shut this off with a Group Policy edit
>>285421962>An episode of anime is 1.3GBare you retarded
>>285412799We still don't have a Mangadex for Light Novels
>>285422144Yes we haveit's called nyaa LN collection
>>285421962>An episode of anime is 1.3GB
>>285421455>>285421636You're conflating gatekeeping as means of preserving a culture worth preserving and gatekeeping so you're small enough that the powers that be don't care enough to fuck you in the ass. Gatekeeping in the case of file sharing is the definition of treating the symptoms instead of the root cause. The problem with batoto et al isn't that casuals knew they existed it's that they could be taken down for doing the the morally right thing.
>>285422171good luck trying to change the power that be matey
>>285422129At minimum.
>>285412799Damn, wasn't nu-bato the only uploader site left for smut? Mangago and Vyvy are just trackers.
Must be sad. Learn Japanese and buy the volumes faggots. I never worry about anything getting taken down. It's going to get worse on the upcoming years
>>285422293Comick and Mangadex have some smuts leftFor everything else you have to pray some hentai site will have them
>>285422341>learn Japanese>go to buy volumes>
>>285422341>I never worry about anything getting taken down.If you bought them then you're fine but occasionally volumes get delisted due to disagreements between the author and publisher and can no longer be published.Magazines are also often only available for a limited time.One concern is geoblocking. I have to use a VPN to access DLsite and dmm.co.jp/dc/doujin/ these days and some sites like Line Manga don't even work with that.
>>285420465>No need to hide this stuff behind muh sekrit club rules.Except we do because not doing so leads to the OP topic.
>>285422475Just have a JP Bookwalker account?Melonbooks is the real pain in the ass
>>285422475BW only has that for BL, TL, R18 and some softero titles and you can actually get around it without VPN since only the store pages are blocked.
I am starting to believe manga scanlation is not inmune to entropy.Sites keep going down and content keeps getting lost.
>>285422508https://bookwalker.jp/de7afeeca4-2e9b-4041-b13e-f17e8cbc38ad/You won't be able to see the page without a Japanese IP. But with the UUID you can buy it anyway.https://user.bookwalker.jp/purchase/simple/uuid/7afeeca4-2e9b-4041-b13e-f17e8cbc38ad/
Is it a good time to get into scanlation?How hard is it to scan? Should I just rip digital assets?
>>285422572Anyone know if Mangashop is restricted to Japanese accounts/credit only? That seems to be the only place you can get certain Showa manga
>>285412988Such is the nature of this samsaric existence
Nyan.pantsu was the legitimate next of kin! Murdered! Assassins of the Dauphin!
>>285422622Never heard of it before. They list Mastercard, Diners Club and VISA so you're likely fine but you should just try it yourself. https://www.mangashop.jp/
Fuckin Daiz. Add Batoto to his crimes
>>285422689I can't believe he killed Batoto twice.
>>285419057Anon was right this talk does sound defeatist like "don't worry about it, torrent's invincible, somebody 'll do it".
>>285422144It's called NovelUpdates.
>>285422610As in doing the actual work? Never been better. Raws are piss easy to get and AI slop cleans/redraws/(translates) for you. There's discord servers that are filled with far better learning resources and competent people willing to help you out when you can't figure something out than what was available just a few year ago.Now do you want to do uncompensated labor for nu-animanga "fans"? That's up to you decide.
>>285422744That's not the same since it doesn't have copies of everything there. Even if it did though, that one would censor everything.
>>285422803>uncompensatedWhat if I told you I had a dying mother I needed to take care of
>>285412799RIPbut i could never take the manga seriously because of the fucking artstyle>sasuke with the curlsfucking lol
>>285422803>AI slop cleans/redraws/(translates) for youI'm still not sure that AI cleaning/redraw is the best approach desuOf course it depends on the raw anon will use but I wouldn't want to waste time on AI fucking up a good quality source again and again until it vomits out an acceptable result
>>285422859Well you should have told me that immediately. Give my your moms patreon/OF and I'll subscribe to the highest tier right away with two separate accounts.
>>285422951I'll AI generate some milf pics first brb
>>285422475Learn2vpn newfag>>285422479Yeah I usually buy my volumes and rip them to my local storage. The ones I really like after reading I get the physical. The thing with nip ebooks as that they're always on discount after a while Whole collections (15-20+ vol) for 1, 33, or 99¥ each. I never knock piracy because I did it a lot when I was broke but of you have a decent amount of disposable income one volume every 2 months is like 4usd. That's basically nothing in the long term. I subscribe to around 30 series and it works out to maybe 10$ a month for series I like or try, especially if you go for the ones on sale. Classic manga often has vol 1-3 as 'read for free' same with currently airing anime that has a manga on Amazon.I just feel at a certain point people have to put their big boy pants on and buy the shit they read. Teens I get not having money
>>285418193>making isekaifags miserablewtf I love korea now
>>285422932just graft the redrawn parts if you want to preserves the quality
>>285423009>The thing with nip ebooks as that they're always on discount after a whileReally depends on the publisher. Shonengahosha practically never gives discounts. Kadokawa on the other hand will get everything to half price or less at some point and sales under 100 are common.KTC and Micro Magazine among others let you grab the early volumes for free.It helps to pay attention to special campaigns like point back as well. After a year you know what to expect and make predictions for the right point to buy something.
>>285423207Takeshobo is my favorite. Got 50+ volumes of Mukoubuchi for 1 yen a piece and still couldn't finish it weeks later
>>285412799>Is my sister cutting herself again because she can't read her favorite shoujo smut? Absolutely.Go hug your sister, post results.
>>285422171>You're conflating gatekeeping as means of preserving a culture worth preservingIts both you dumbass. If you gatekeep and only allow people into these communities who understand the necessity of seeding, sharing, backups and keeping share sites alive, you will never be able to uproot this type of piracy. If you open it up, you get drowned out by people with 0 seeding, the folk that contribute get turned off by complainers, and you also have a massive footprint compared to a smaller more passionate community. Its why gatekeeping is important even in these types of cases. The last fucking private tracker I joined required me to have a fucking mIRC interview before I joined. And holy shit, the # of torrents there were insane compared to public trackers. Its almost as if people who have to jump trough multiple hoops and are slowly thought the culture that enabled these sites in he first place have a better chance of carrying on their legacy.
>>285423009>>285423207>The thing with nip ebooks as that they're always on discount after a whileI stumbled on this once before but the latest volume was full prices. Is that the default?
Most of you fucks haven't even read 500GB of manga
>>285423207>point back as wellI love those campaigns but yes you're correct with everything as well I tend to wait for those as well as making sure I buy the ones I want when they have 40-60 % point back.I have so much manga with all of these deals I have to much to read. I really wonder if people who complain have really tried or looked at what available or if they're going off their beliefs from pre 2016
>>285423485Yeah the latest 1-2 volumes will be full price but full price is like 5$ so it's really not bad in the end
>>285421835What the fuck are you still getting updates for? Lmao
>>285423485It's common. I tend to see the latest volume being discounted as a sign that the series is getting axed, especially if it's more than 50%, but it's not always the case.
>>285422803>and AI slop cleans/redraws/(translates) for youI tried it, and you know what, if you have basic understanding of what you are doing, you are 100% right. Redrawing and cleaning like a decade ago was atrocious, and its piss easy now.Same with translation, which boggles me, because somehow people still put out MTL that makes literally 0 sense. Like actual gibberish.
>>285412987I really don't get the appeal of the gookslop. Have a fujo acquaintance and she fucking devours that shit.
>>285413512But the art is actually still bad, what the fuck are you talking about? Its completely soulless.
>>285423492you reminded me that i need to sort this shit already
you're not a real ojii-san unless you read on onemanga
>>285423667>Same with translation, which boggles me, because somehow people still put out MTL that makes literally 0 sense. Like actual gibberish.Never seen one of those blasphemous average IQ by country charts or something?
>>285417815I'm not going to create an account and play online friends with the emotionally labile retards who populate nerd spaces just so I can read questionably translated Japanese comics.
>>285424004I remember mangavolume in 2006.
>>285424004ok unc
>>285424004>reading Nexgear's tl of the Chimera Ants arc>using the IRC to keep track of releasesI miss when translation groups had these, much more convenient than a website or Twitter
>>285424142Some TL groups still do it, I follow Unkomans on IRC for the Hatarakanai Futari releases
>>285423368 >necessity of seeding You're so all-in in the slave mindset you're utterly blind to why streaming won while torrenting failed and is relegated to rat dens to be usable; it relies on good will instead of incentives. It's 2026, you can pay for data without the need for a (((trusted intermediary))). If seeders were properly compensated for the value they provide "piracy" would eat everyone's lunch but sadly it's stuck with a cuck protocols like bittorrent that rely on commie shit like private trackers function well for anything that isn't super popular.
>>285424371>Some TL groups still do itThat's true. Just none of the people I follow. Last one was Dropout and they closed their doors years ago.
>>285422803>AI slop cleans/redraws/(translates) for you.Can you name some of the best apps for this?
>>285424444translate.io
>>285424444>>285424490scanlate.io
but anons, I do like my isekai villainess gookslop
>>285424700kys
>>285424142This is what discord is for now whether you like it or not.
>>285424784
>>285424700Speaking as a villainess enjoyer, gook villainess stuff is all shit. Like most of the rest of gookshit.
>>285420717Which one, comick? It's dead too, transformed into a place to check releases only with no link toward chapters. I think Mangafire is decent though, haven't really paid attention to it.The only real solution is to ban korean webtoons, it's always these who get DMCA and bring the whole website down.
>>285425078Not comic.
>>285421009You absolute faggot, the scanlation community for Spanish has always have the same or more presence as the English one. There's hundreds of weird series you could only find in Spanish and not English.
>>285425155ThisI remember back around a decade I was wondering where the fuck the English fanTL of Trinity Seven got the idea to call one of the characters Demon Lord RojoAs it turns out they were working from Spanish TLs
>>285422475Why do they do this for some nanoha stuff?
>>285424784>>285424998I don't get people's issue with Discord. It's essentially just IRC with more features. If IRC had gotten bigger it would have ended up just as cancerous. It's an issue of popularity and posters, not the thing itself.
>>285425843>I don't get people's issue with DiscordI don't either. At least it doesn't have ads yet
>>285425843>If IRC had gotten bigger it would have ended up just as cancerous.I've been in irc channels with lots of active users, they were shit too. This is the problem anon. I actually do follow a couple scanlation groups on their discord and they each have a handful of members so it's all really chill. The problem has and will remain that larger servers invite a lot of really shitty people and discord is basically guaranteed to allow for servers to balloon in membership because the barrier of entry associated with IRC is gone. I don't want to sound like a gatekeeping asshole but I just want a simple avenue to converse directly with the translators and other people interested in a series without unnecessary IRL baggage being thrown around without prompt.
>>285425154Mind sharing? I won't tell the japaneses, I promise
>>285423009Don't use a VPN when buying on BW. Japanese IPs have to pay 10% tax while foreigners don't.You can browse the store with VPN and place the items in your basket but always turn it off before making the purchase.
>>285412799how the fuck im supposed to read my /u/ now? take responsibility faggots plz, bato had every unpopular yuri
>>285412799Move on to weebdexAlso your sister is fucking based
>>285412982Any hentai it had were scraped from Panda Hitomi.la also scrapes from Panda
>>285426413>>285426004
>>285426306I'm the same with my 500+ yuri bookmarks , hopefully the batodevs retards get multiple black dicks shoved in their a holes
>>285426466Nope. Bato wasn't a Panda scraper. I frequently found translations on it that weren't on Panda. Some translators only uploaded to Bato, particularly hentai from DLsite garumani and TL.
>>285426785If it isn't in your HDD then it will disappear. GFYS
>>285427012Even if it is in your HDD, it still might disappear.
>>285423492Depends on how you count magazines. I've definitely downloaded 500GB worth of magazines but I haven't read every single page for the vast majority of issues.
>>285418193>they're literally the lowest IQ retards imaginableSounds like they're right at home in isekai threads
It seems bato.to is back under another name.
Korean and Chinese faggots, whatever retarded shit you read, you can migrate on MANGAGO. It has pretty much everything Bato-kun had including all your yuri yaoi fujo and slops. The ai is fucked though but it's been here for a while now.
>>285424004Oji-sans never read online, they downloaded it and opened each .jpg individually to read.
>>285427241>under another namewhich is
>>285427497Glowing hands typed these posts
>>285427497xbat.sibato is back retards, lol
>>285417722Told you guys.
>>285427575>switched to .sismart choice
>>285412987So why did Mangadex get DMCA'd by by Manga companies then?Why are you fuckers pushing this ''Only Korean companies care'' narrative?
>>285427575What the fuck was this sayonara message on discord then? They have a mental illness or something? Schizophrenia?
>>285426004weebdex.org
>>285427819It's a trick to shake out the idiots spreading their name around. And so publishers think they're gone.Basically they're faking their death to come back under a new identity.
>>285427819Everyone and their mother thought it was okay to speak on behalf of the dev who hadn't even made an official statement. Meanwhile, the dev carried on and did his own thing. Laughable, really.
>>285426956Somebody has to have scraped them from batoto thenBut why the fuck would you upload to batoto(except that period when MD went dark) when batoto compresses shit?
>>285412799Not sure if we'll ever see replacements these days, hosting costs are shooting up thanks to AI as companies redirect server hosting resources towards AI uses.
>>285427887shiggy diggy
>>285427770Mangadex stopped hosting a bunch of Korean manhwa
>>285427934Bato was the main hub for joseimuke eromanga. That's what the OP means by>Is my sister cutting herself again because she can't read her favorite shoujo smut? Absolutely.
>>285427695Has other mirrors like .io and .app
>>285427819https://youtu.be/yW5me_l9FL4?si=VO-HxwoJxQb9B3bM
>finally open up mangadex to export my reading list>why would your average person use mangadex now?
>>285422572>>285426129So this is the power of Japanese web developers
>>285427819The message where they said "the server will shut down but we will send invites for the new server"? That message?
>>285414263>How do all the "other" sites stay up then?They comply to DMCA claims.mdex has nuked half of the series I've uploaded.sadpanda pins galleries to the fjord daily.
>>285427990And they also took down thousands of manga titles
>>285428002>Bato was the main hub for joseimuke eromanga.Why?Why not panda?Anyways, they can move to weebdex(or the sister sites that host fakku/irodori sht) probably
>>285422044Enterprise is nice but it means no more security updates
>>285427974Irrelevant if OPSec is setup correctly like he's claiming https://weebdex.org/abouthttps://old.reddit.com/r/mangapiracy/comments/1o74uzr/announcing_weebdex/This whole ''just don't host gookslop and you'll be safe'' narrative people keep trying to push is complete bullshit considering MD had to take down like 7000 manga
>>285428973Oh noooooo what will I do without useless updates
>>285412799>Is my sister cutting herself again because she can't read her favorite BL yaoi? Absolutely.Ftfy
>>285412988Brother, you have no idea how many high quality scanlations before 2010 are now lost to timeIt's sad to see their entries on mangaupdates but you can't find them anywhere on the web anymore
>>285428219Previously one exploit to pre-order R18 content was switching to BW Global to do it. As long as you had notifications for the label or author set up you could get them in English, together with the pre-order button. Bought dozens of LO and Towako volumes that way.Now you've append the UUID to a link 4chan considers spam.
>>285420711>I just remove the DRM.I refuse to financially support drm out of principle, even if I can manage to work around itat that point I would rather pirate or not read at all>>285420736>epubs, containing metadata and jpg. now that would be nice
>>285412799Bato gone reminds me of when kissmanga is out of business back thenThe impact is just as big, I don't give a flying fuck about Dex when it got tracked down
>>285429036how can they have "opsec" when they use motherfucking discord?especially now that discord is finally going public
>>285417153Manhwa has a bajillion pages each and that means more ad money
>>285424700What makes them better than Japanese isekai villainess works?
>>285427575>>285427901>>285427907Looks like the bato admin has more balls than the mangadex admin
I miss mangastream translatioms
>>285429629I read a manga recently that had mangastream watermark, pretty sure it was jagaaan, yea. Not sure if there were better scanlation, pretty sure I got it from a torrent.
>>285420470Suwayomi is better than Hakuneko.
>>285429629kingin' it like kong?
>>285429715Why?
>>285427575Holy shit thanks, backing up my porn now.
>>285429449Delta used a throwaway e-mailNothing sensitive is shared on the discord
>>285427575>never used bato before>check a random manga>no option for double page spreadpeople really used this shit?
>>285429629I miss OnemangaI also miss when manga was thriving in Japan and they didn't need to make a gajillion anime series to desperately market manga with low sales, or pandering to the westI miss Crunchyshit being a faggoty pirate website that was only available in murica
>>285429515there is more completed works

>>285429979Really wish you didn't post this>Become a Werewolf or a Vampireah fuck
>>285429751Better UI.Better integrated reader. The extension system tends to grab more modern sites than Hakuneko's catalog.
What place has the "Risky Safety" manga?Only place I ever found 3 chapters of it was bato, so...
>>285429245Based Towakofag
>>285421631I always have a radio stream on so my laptop's wifi card doesn't go to sleep.I've tried all configs on the device manager and it still goes to sleep unless there is a constant stream of data flowing.It's annoying because when the card goes to sleep I have to restart the whole system or just so the stupid windows can recognize my wifi network after waking up the card.
>>285429979Modern web design is total eyecancer and faggot shit.
>>285430071>>285430114>>285430124We didn't know how god we had itI know some people mourn the loss of og batoto, but I always thought that site was coded so sloppily, layout was meh and hated that you had to sign up to readMangadex(except early on when it was buggy) was a substantial upgrade, before it received the mobileshit interfaceBut nothing beats the old simple text-based interace old sites like One Manga hadNo clutter
>>285429979Anime has been advertisement for manga since the early 00's. You'd have to be in your 40's or 50's to remember when that wasn't the case.
>>285430408>I have to restart the whole system or just so the stupid windows can recognize my wifi network after waking up the card.I had a similar issue once in my dual boot linux/windows setupit turned out it was because linux "internally" uses UTC time, while windows uses local(both systems still display local time, it was a hardware clock or something)I needed to change some registry setting in windows to force UTC, and it solved the problem
>>285430491No it really wasn't, not to the extent it's nowManga used to sell a lot more on average without anime promotion back in the dayThe amount of anime produced in the 2000s is much smaller in comparison to today
>>285430770You're using the wrong metrics. More anime are being made because the medium is more popular, but the number of original series started dropping around the 00's. That is the actual problem. The pipeline is webnovel/twitter comic -> picked up LN/manga -> anime. There is no room for original content on the anime side of things, so of course it's all just advertisement and of course manga and LN rely heavily on anime for a jump in interest and sales.
>>285430445AgreedIt's way too bloated/clutteredPlus, look at that neat and orderly list on onemangaWhen you see the titles alone without an image, I don't know why but it seems more mysterious and makes you wanna click on themOf course with the stupidly long LN trash titles nowadays that look like run-in sentences nobody would be enticed to click on them without a photo these days
>>285412939Sadpanda almost bit the dust and theres still nothing comparable to it. The entire internet almost burned down when there was a threat it was going offline. >>285413498Mangadex is the worst source possible with how often scanlations are out of date compared to other sources/scrapers.
>>285430171Can it grab from Manga Plaza?
>>285430895And there might be a threat of Sadpanda going offline again if Moldovia (where the servers are located) is annexed by Romania (which Moldovia wants Romania to do). Nobody is talking about this. It may not matter in the short term, but eventually Romania will start enforcing various laws in Moldovia.
>>285430955>gypsies will suddenly start following EU laws if they get annexed by other gypsies
>>285430036So nothing about the works themselves?
>>285430445That's why I still use anidb
>>285430922That doesn't appear to be cataloged in the Keiyoshi and Yuzuno extension repos, perhaps another or I missed it. It is a desktop expansion of Tachiyomi/Mihon. So if you couldn't get the site for those, it isn't going to work with Suwayomi.
>>285430828>It's way too bloated/cluttered don't forget slow-ass animations and literal dozens of javascript files per pagethese days nobody can so much as code a form input in pure html
>>285431102That's because HTML inputs have extremely limited ways to check for correct data/datatypes. JS allows to sanitize data from the client side so they don't have to waste server resources responding to malformed data in forms.They're basically offloading some processing to the clients.
>>285414458he is actually a crunchyroll subscriber and just tries to fit in, without knowing anything
>>285427592can you share the link?
>>285415520Wtf what kinda app is an exe
>>285430955Are they threatened because of the loli stuff again or for copyright? They already comply and remove a lot of things upon DMCA, and as for lolicon other sites host that too and don't seem to struggle nearly as much, without even locking themselves behind registrations. There was a short period where nHentai was at risk because of it some time ago but absolutely nothing came out of it
>>285415520If you're looking at a torrent for a video but for some reason the file extension is exe, you should be very suspicious.
>>285430807>More anime are being made because the medium is more popularBullshitMost of them are Manga/LN adaptationsThere aren't as many original anime nowadays
Who cares about bato?
>>285430895>MangadexWeebdex will replace it soon
>>285431528There's a bigger demand for anime and most viewers oversees don't care about the source material but they can still serve as advertisement in the Japanese market. Additionally you have Koreans push for Japanese adaptions of non-Japanese material.There's no big demand for originals and they're a bigger risk for investors.
>>285420161>cannot into pattern recognitionIf you don't have autism, why even use 4chan?
>>285431573>it's already up under different name
>>285431102For what it's worth weebdex seems fast on my old machine using palemoonNo idea if it's using JSAlthough that could be because not everyone has moved over there yetBut I still prefer the simple text-based layouts of old
>>285431176I would agree with you if it was a progressive enhancement thing, where the form still works without JS, just doesn't check as much instantly (you still get full feedback from server upon clicking submit)but no, shit is just plain broken without it, which is a travesty considering forms are the foundation of htmland pure html validation is pretty versatile these days, you can get 90% there>They're basically offloading some processing to the clients.that's the thing, you can'tyou still have to check everything serverside, since you can never trust the clientso it's less offloading and more duplicating for the convenience of the client, who gets instant feedbackand for that, see abovebut no, even for basic checks like input length most sites will use buggy, slow scripts instead
>>285431636>There's a bigger demand for anime and most viewers overseesThe importance of the overseas market is vastly overrated by gaijinThe fact is that we are seeing more anime because manga and LN are bleeding salesShueisha wouldn't give stellar anime adaptations to mid shit like Elusive Samurai if it were selling a million per volumeThey are desperately hoping to repeat the anamolous Demon Slayer success tooThis is why they also can't risk making original anime, because the industry is not in a good financial situation, and that is precisely because Manga and LN don't sell domestically anymoreNobody is willing to buy the magazines, they can't even interest nips to read free digital chapters either
>>285431731>you still have to check everything serversideYes. But by filtering most forms client-side you reduce resource usage by a lot.Remember that the people using the internet are absolute retards. If you receive 1,000 JS-sanitized forms, you would have gotten 1,000,000 bad-data forms without these JS checks in place.
>>285431689weebdex completely fails to load without jsit's just an empty pageand I recognise that pure html web is a pipe dream at this pointstill, I would like to see sites use it as an enhancement instead of matter of courseand disabling js also frees you from all the client-side tracking that every site does these daysthat is also not free, neither in terms of bandwidth nor speed
>>285431871>If you receive 1,000 JS-sanitized forms, you would have gotten 1,000,000 bad-data forms without these JS checks in place.would you really?like I said, most of what js does, html can do faster and often with better UXyou wouldn't get a thousand times as much bad forms, you would get maybe 5% more invalid inputsand I also mentioned you can enhance with javascriptjust don't brainlessly use react for everything
>>285431870>and that is precisely because Manga and LN don't sell domestically anymoreManga sales have been booming for a long time due to exploding digtal sales.For anime the main source of income have been streaming deals from China.
Perhaps a dumb question, but why not just host your content via IPFS? Then it's virtually impossible to remove, and you can have a site where you don't even have to host the files yourself...
>>285432085>html can do faster Because it's more basic.>'asd@asd' (not even a valid domain)Is a valid input for an e-mail field if you only use html.If you want to make sure the user is adding a "trustable" address you need js to limit what can or can't go after the at.
>>285432105/a/ did have an IFPS type server for a while, but it died when the host got bored.
>>285432220>Because it's more basic. not always, often it's faster because it's done by the browser internal codeemail domain verification is something that you can add on top of html validation, yes, if you happen to care about that sort of thing
>>285428818Bato was the main hub for all things joseimuke. Naturally this would apply to the smut. Additionally, Sadpanda's content and signup process filters 99% of joseimuke readers.
>>285428818>>285432435I wouldn't doubt that at least a part of it is because the number of joseimuke smut readers/uploaders don't want to sign up to a website that advertises itself as a porn site is pretty significant. You get a lot more plausible deniability (even if it's just in your head) reading on or uploading to a general manga site for women rather than the Hentai Site for Masturbating To Eromanga Sex.Personally, the panda also filters me because I don't like signing up for stuff in general even though it's the only solid place to get artbooks.
So, please, pretty please, I wish to get a drip of your sage knowledge, what are your recommendations on manga readers? Its been years since I used one, and also I dont even know which sites are still up. So considering that more sites are going the way of the dodo, i would like to get a local copy of the stuff that I like before its too lateNo I am not being sarcastic, due to life events I didnt visited manga sites anymore, but I had noticed that also torrent sites dont have stuff because they are concerned (and maybe rightfully so) about attracting too much unwanted attention, thats why i ask the knowledge of people that are up to date in these matters
>>285420766Someone started uploading torrents with CP and nyaa has a shortage of mods to keep that shit in check. After they closed registrations he started breaching poorly secured accounts so now your account gets deactivated if you didn't log in for the past year.
>>285432105How would it be different from torrents
We need to go back to Ares/E-mule
>>285432798ask grok
>>285432798Get everything you can from nyaa and keep it locallyOr get yourself a ripper software that will compile every chapter for a series from a given source like tachiyomi
>>285432927I dindt used ares, but I used E-mule for years, and it went to shit because the viruses problem ran rampant. It was good, but not without its problems, and somethings you can get faster via torrents if you know where to search.>>285432976>get it from nyaaMy dude did you read my post, somethings are not on nyaa.>tachiyomiHmm I dont know this one, I shall investigate more. Thanks
>>285433197tachiyomi got C&D's some time agothe replacement I use is mihonit has the capability to set up remote sources, although I cannot vouch for it, as I have everything locallyon linux I use YACReader, again for local stuff
>>285431875>weebdex completely fails to load without jsOh well, it works fast on palemoon on my 2009 laptopThough who knows what will happen when traffic rises, it might be as slow as mangadexI know that weebdex will receieve a full rewrite tooHere's hoping it gets better and not worse
>>285433378just wondering, of the people who spout slogans like this how many of you actually had a hand in "two more taking its place"?have you, personally, set something up, like a new sourceor are you just coasting on the hard work of a movement in which you do not participate
>>285432105Same problem as with torrents, someone has to seed those files.
>>285432096>Manga sales have been booming for a long time due to exploding digtal sales.There is because more niche magazines are more accessible digitally now + the increase of web magazinesBut all the big magazines that produce the big long-running mass appeal stuff that revolutionize the industry have been bleeding sales, especially Shonen JumpThis will be a huge problem down the lineThe big magazines are the heartbeat of the industryThe decline in quality and creativity is insaneI don't care how much reddit shills Chainsaw Man, that shit is so fucking poorly drawnSame with SnK before it, I don't care how popular it was, the art in the manga was abysmalNot going to mention Kimetsu since that was an anmaly that was solely carried by Ufotable whereas SnK sold well before the anime
>>285412987Batoto was bad, too. The admin or mods let their yaoi girlfriends take over the website and they started removing ecchi manga like My Balls while still allowing yaoi manga that showed onscreen gay sex. This happened at the same time, batoto started allowing chinkshit and gookshit onto the website as well.
>>285413146Korean webtoon publishers exited the European market, so you should stop lying about the popularity of gookshit
>>285433562I don't understand your argumentit's the big publishers that stick to safe and unimaginative workswhereas the niche stuff has more creativity, while usually being more friendly towards the customerthe situation you describe, where big publishers struggle but small publishers thrive, should be the one we want, no?
>>285413742Because the tranny mods on Mangadex who constantly get into fights with scanlators that upload troll credits pages, failed to notice a Narutard had uploaded fan colored version of Boruto, even though anyone with common sense knew that Viz America likes to spam DMCA notices.
>>285433623I never liked the design of batoto and that you had to sign up to read shitEarly mangadex(after they fixed the initial bugs) was way better, too bad that went to shit because of faggot owner and mods and sucking up to publishers trying to become the next Crunchyroll, and then the mobileshit redesign and DMCA takedown Weebdex seems to be ran by a based mofo though so maybe it'll be better this time around
>>285433477Nah, yea just coasting. Im no code monkey. Most I have ever done is dump chapters. Sorry
>>285423675Gook isekai/villainess shoujoshit is crazy addictive. It's not actually good, it gets formulaic very quickly, it's the definition of "brainrot". But there's so much of it and there's just enough variety as far as main characters go that you just keep reading. It also has more edge and suspense than japanese isekai.Now you will say "just read something better, retard" and you would be right, but you wouldn't get it. Gookshit is made to be digestible. Most stories are around 100 chapters, short enough to be marathoned through pretty quickly but long enough to leave you satisfied. The art is all over the place and they often change artists halfway through, but it's generally "good enough" as long as you don't notice the terrible cg assets in the background and especially the fucking horses. There's also quite a bit of smut.Again, gookshit is not good, you have to be braindamaged to consume it, but I know what it's like unfortunately.
Wow, I just tried weeb dex and the reader is so bad. Clicking spacebar scrolls the manga UP not down, which is exactly the opposite of what it does in the default browser behavior for the rest of the internet.
>>285433668The big publishers are failingThe niche stuff is usually crap like narouslop of even worseYou absolutely don't want the big publishers to struggleYou want them to thrive and be high quality and innovative, because those revolutionary manga in the big magazines in turn influence the smaller magazines and also potentially subsidizes more magazines tooThese big magazines have a lot of legacy and hold a lot of prestigeSome small magazine can't just easily rise up and usurp them, that's just not realisticThe best talents out there still want to be on Jump, but Jump is failing them by selecting some of the worst artists possibleNothing makes sense about how modern Shonen Jump is ran, nothingJust comparing current Jump to the Jump from 2012 it's absolutely abysmal let alone comparing it to Jump from the 2000s or 90s
>>285417626Reminder that it was gooks that filed the first ever DMCA manga takedown notice to Github
>>285433808This. They're designed to be read by half-dead office workers on their commutes so it's basically like crack when you're tired as fuck and don't have the mental capacity to absorb anything with actual merit, and since they're all roughly the same you know exactly what you're getting and can safely drop it if it's shit or pick back up where you left off without missing much. It's also mostly shipshit so even though it's aimed at women it's filled with cute girls, especially if you like oujo-sama or maids.
>>285433668>>285434021Also, Kazuhiko Torishima(Toriyama's editor) raised a good point about how no good manga is made for kids anymore, and how if kids of today don't read manga then who is gonna make the manga of the future?He is completely right.Looking at the current Jump line-up, there is no way any of that shit would have appealed to me when I was a kid. It doesn't appeal to me now, let alone back then.And I keep bringing Jump up because even with the bleeding sales this is still the highest selling mangazine by a good marginIt's the only manga mag that still manages to sell over 1 million(though probably not for long before it reaches below 1mill)
>>285433477>needing credentials to post basic observationsAre those questions ever asked out of genuine curiosity? Do people saying the opposite, "manga sites are dead forever", need justification now too? Maybe you should've kept your discussion to, dunno, discord and not an anonymous board if you need credentials attached to every comment :)
Could they at least let me export my reading list?I'll fuck off to other sites but I can't remember half the things I read until they pop up again.
>>285412799Did anyone do an archival dump of mangafox's forum? So much internet history just obliterated.
>>285434308This is why you need an external way to keep track.Either a txt file in your pc or an account in mangaupdates or similar.Sites containing metadata about what you read never go down, (neither do txts) but sites with piracy go down every other year.
>>285433897>Clicking spacebar scrolls the manga UP not down,no it doesn'tmaybe you had some text input focused?>>285434295>if you need credentials attached to every commentyou mistake my meaning, fellow anonI don't need your name, but I do care about authenticityand saying "hail Hydra" while not being part of Hydra strikes me an unauthenticso yes, it was from curiosity>Do people saying the opposite, "manga sites are dead forever", need justification now too? yes, anon, you need to be able to justify your argumentsit has always worked like thathave a nice day tho
>>285427575 oh yay they have server-switching now by default instead of it just being a devsite thing thx for the heads up
>>285431023nah, its all the same shit with different hair and eye color
>>285427575finna tell the 'tok about this one
>>285434338I'd guess that much like Narutofan/Tazmo, it's lost to time
>>285429979Fuck no. OneManga was the beginning of the end, with its garbage ass image quality. You have to go back further, to Lurk and GotLurk. Getting manga through IRC in its original quality.
>>285430895>Mangadex is the worst source possible with how often scanlations are out of date compared to other sources/scrapers.How do you figure? What scrapers can scanlators actually upload to themselves? Isn't that an oxymoron to begin with?
>>285434308>>285434363Use bookmarks like any sane person would. Had this bookmarked for over 10 years now spanning from multiple browsers and PC's even though the site is probably long gone by now. I really need to finish reading Angel Densetsu
I downloaded every complet gallery on mangadex with the science fiction tag before the purgeshould find a way to share it, it's like 2 tb or more
>>285434871Bookmarks are pretty bad for organizing, also they clutter your browser experience every time you're gonna type something into the address bar.
>"use weebdex as replacement">literally search a popular kr title>no resultsbato users dont care for your japanese slops so no
>>285420781Moving domain isn't quite accurate. Nyaa.si is a replacement and the owners are unaffiliated with the original nyaa.
>>285434909Not really, or at least with Firefox. You can use folders, separators, drag and drop, edit, rename, change or rename urls, search, tag, and even uses 2 separate cleaner menus to do all that shit. You have to be a complete retard to not make use of this.
>>285434734Damn. I can still see threads that I responded to in the Wayback machine, but I can't access the threads themselves. It's a crying shame. I still find it hard to believe a website would just delete an entire forum like that without making a backup, when I worked software that's what my company did. Maybe it just wasn't as common as I thought.
>>285434975The only good stuff on bato was the Japanese stuff
>>285435093backups are notoriously unreliable and often an afterthought and almost no company tests their backup restoration process, they just dump the database from time to time and assume it will be usable when shit hits the fan
>>285434975>>285427575Site's already back up anon. So crawl back and gorge happily on your gay gookslop.
>>285414679>This is all trickle down from the November 19th rulingWhich itself was trickle down from CF taking down a certain legal website a few years ago, which set the whole precedentas that's when all the takedowns started.
>>285428818>>285432745There's also that it's more convenient to use a website that's more tailored for your taste. That's why there's a separate dlsite girls website. Sad panda doesn't have a for women tag. If you're a girl looking for some sexual material to satisfy your needs, it's much easier to find what you're looking for on bato. You'd also probably feel more comfortable on a website with a mainly female presence. But I still go there and enjoy reading all the comments made by horny girls.
>>285431870>people are still assmad about Elusive Samurai getting a good adaptation
>>285415824anon didn’t make his own downloader…
>>285435811Why reinvent the wheel?Gallery-dl exists.
>>285434810Nobody knew what the fuck gotlurk wasOnemanga was the first popular manga readerThe image quality wasn't that bad, it was certainly less compressed than garbage like mangafox
>>285435844because i can and got bored, and can do sites that aren’t supported by it
>>285435811you still need sites to download it from
>>285434975You do realize that weebdex is still in the initial stages right?They are still restoring shit(including an entirely new updated archve) and they have a whole site rewrite comingThese things take timeJust like Mangadex took a long time before it fully recovered everything from Batoto and until they ironed a lot of bugs and implemented a lot of featured and stuff
>>285435793Yes I will beYou have classics that are getting low quality remakes but this trash gets that amazing animeI despise when mediocre manga get good adaptationSame with Attack on Titan, the manga's art is terrible but the anime improves itSame with CSM, Kimetsu awful art on manga but the anime improves it to something somewhat palatableMeanwhile manga with good/amazing art gets downgraded in the anime if anything
>>285436110You get the adaptation you deserve.
